not strictly the correct place to post this but jazzman records have just put out "Black Land of the Nile" by Black Fairy. A reissue, but the original Taifa LP was just impossible to find! wicked, uplifting conscious soul!

Haven't bought much new music this year, been mostly retro purchases but my favourite new lp that I've bought has got to be Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose. If you like old timey country music with great vocals singing honest and personal lyrics with a touch of rock guitar here and there, then this is the lp to buy!!
